Unquestionable 01/03/18 4:28:16 PM #37:	People dislike socialism because they like to believe themselves above what they actual are, they swallowed the lie that everyone could be making 3 figure incomes if they just "work hard". Capitalism is practically gambling where you can change the odds a bit but are never going to be able to beat the house. Of course both systems have been mostly run like shit to varying degrees. Capitalism relies too much demeaning blue collar jobs while socialism tends to have a track record of letting corruption rule things. --- Immanentize the eschaton <cite>Unquestionable posted [p:893363992] in I don't un...

I thought you would like it since I have seen you or you on your 5000 karma alt say you were part of the underclass. I don't think that dude even works Yes, I'm part of the lower class, which is why I don't put any stock in socialism, or any notion of human compassion. I know better than to think anyone is a kind or generous soul, least of all the US government. (In fact, they screwed me over pretty hard today.) And no, I don't have a job either, which is infuriating to no end because I'm not against the idea of financially supporting myself, it's just that I've literally never been given the chance to (and now I likely never will). --- Les aristocrates a la lanterne!

darkjedilink 01/03/18 5:14:22 PM #48:	Unquestionable posted... People dislike socialism because they like to believe themselves above what they actual are, they swallowed the lie that everyone could be making 3 figure incomes if they just "work hard". Capitalism is practically gambling where you can change the odds a bit but are never going to be able to beat the house. Of course both systems have been mostly run like shit to varying degrees. Capitalism relies too much demeaning blue collar jobs while socialism tends to have a track record of letting corruption rule things. You have no idea what 'capitalism' is, huh? It's literally two people trading a good or service one has for a good or service the other has. That's it. If you have something someone else wants, you're halfway to capitalism. If you have something a lot of people want, and can get it to them, you're successful. Your gripes about capitalism? That's socialism, believe it or not. --- 'It's okay that those gangbangers stole all my personal belongings and cash at gunpoint, cuz they're building a rec center!' - OneTimeBen <cite>darkjedilink posted [p:893366564] in I don't un...
